    The mav is gone but i'm still here!

    the US mavericks and comets never came with a full length console. All we got here were mini consoles.

    There are two compartments that open, one where the front cupholder ledge is raised up, and one right next to it, where you can see the key slot.

    I'd give a link to where to find it, but I can't find it for the life of me.. The man who had the car before me must have put it in..

    Hope this helps!
